International Women's Day 2019

Two days ago, I gave myself the assignment of starting and completing a painting that had relevance to the International Women's Day 2019 #BalanceForBetter. That meant I had maximum of 48 hours to complete the painting.

I chose the painting because of the strong gestural stance of the little girl who is 'balanced' on the sandy terrain and this spoke to my need to have a reference that supports this year's theme.

Apart from minor tweaks, here is my completed painting, 'At the Beach', oil on canvas 16 x 20" advocating for balance, for gender diversity, for equal opportunities, for space to grow into womanhood.

This painting has been sold.
